Jailbreak

Cydia

With iOS 5 beta 7 releasing and redsn0w being updated to support, many people are already able to jailbreak on beta 7 without any issues. However, those of us that need to preserve our baseband, we have had to hold off for the time being. iH8sn0w (@iH8sn0w) released sn0wbreeze v2.8b7 for iOS 5 beta 7 in the last 15 hours that is able to preserve baseband when jailbreak on iOS 5 beta 7.

Other then having the ability to preserve baseband, here are the differences that sn0wbreeze has against redsn0w:

It removes UDID Developer check plus the beta timer

You are able to hacktivate with sn0wbreeze

Note that sn0wbreeze is only available on the Windows OS. Read here for the full changelog. Information about what devices are tethered or not when jailbreaking on iOS 5 beta 7 with sn0wbreeze is in the changelog as well.

So does this version finally fix the issue with 6.15.00 baseband being usable on beta(note I am speaking of this with use with AT&T, and before anyone asks the person who is using it bought the phone from a Tmobile user is why he is using 6.15.00 on AT&T)

Just asked iH8sn0w. Here was his response:
